Diversifying farms in Guinayangan, Philippines
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/132473
Abstract
In rural areas where malnutrition is higher and households poorer, growing diverse fruit trees-especially indigenous fruits-can provide multiple benefits. These fruit trees can be a valuable source of secondary income in rural areas such as Guinayangan, where coconut cultivation is the primary source of income. They are also a viable strategy to promote climate-smart agriculture which can strengthen the resilience of farmers; and to diversify…

Benefits of Leucaena diversifolia in grazing steer’s diet: performance, methane and fatty acids
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/132469
Abstract
Leucaena diversifolia (Ld) is a legume species that has received little attention in terms of its nutritive value, methane (CH4) emissions, and impact on meat quality. To address this gap, a study was conducted to compare the performance, CH4 emissions, and fatty acid content of steers grazing on a monoculture of tropical grass Urochloa hybrid cv. Cayman versus a combination of Cayman and Ld.…

Applying co-integrated panel models to estimate long-term relationships between cattle production and greenhouse gas emissions for Latin America
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/132479
Abstract
The cattle sector is key to the economy of several Latin American countries, however, it strongly contributes to environmental degradation through the emission of greenhouse gases and deforestation, among others. The objective of this study is to analyze the long- and short-term relationships of variables such as population growth, expansion of…

Owning the land, but at what cost? Changes in power relations and land accumulation in cattle ranching in wartime Colombia
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/132437
Abstract
Given the length of the conflict and multiplicity of actors embedded in the Colombian war, it becomes necessary to understand the impact that violence, displacement and dispossession have amongst rural producers and in the agroeconomic sector in general. The struggle for land tenure, the management of natural resources, and the economic and social centrality of cattle…

Profitability analysis of a silvo-pastoral system in Colombia: Economic and environmental benefits
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/132472
Abstract
Cattle production systems generate considerable environmental impacts, among which deforestation and the emission of methane by ruminants stand out. Consequently, technological innovations within this sector must be focused on achieving sustainable production in both economic and environmental terms. Silvo-pastoral systems (SPS) as a productive alternative allow an increase in economic yields…

Feasibility of improved silvopastoral systems in the Caribbean region of Nicaragua
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/132476
Abstract
In Nicaragua, land use change and agriculture cause 80% of total greenhouse gas emissions, of which more than half are from livestock. Livestock farming occupies almost 50% of total land area and is a major cause of forestland conversion, especially in the Caribbean region covering over half of the national territory, with 89% of the country’s forests and the highest proportion of poor people. The conversion…

Nitrogen fixation and nitrous oxide emissions in tropical silvopastoral systems based on Urochloa grasses and Leucaena shrub legume
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/132470
Abstract
Cattle production in tropical regions is largely dependent on monoculture pastures, which are characterised by low technology adoption and high land occupation. The introduction of legumes in tropical pastures has been proposed as a potential alternative to increase forage and animal productivity while maintaining soil quality without the use of synthetic…

Strengthening capacity of extension officers in gender-responsive bean research, digital extension and agribusiness in Laikipia and Nyeri Counties, Kenya
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/132468
Abstract
Although seed is an integral part of the agri-food system, it is often unavailable and unaffordable to smallholder farmers in rural areas, especially women and vulnerable groups. In addition, the poor extension system of getting seeds and information to farmers remains a drawback to adoption and increased productivity. Further, increased…
